MARCH 22, 2015
Courtesy of Sarnia Sting
Despite a spirited comeback
from an early 2-0 deficit
the Sting dropped a 4-3
decision to the Owen Sound
Attack Saturday night in
front of 3270 fans at the
Harry Lumley Bayshore
Community Centre.
Just 1:41 into the opening
frame the Attack jumped to a
1-0 lead, on a goal by
Thomas Schemitsch.
Six minutes later Daniel
Milne slipped one by Sarnia
native Justin Fazio and made
it 2-0.
After an Attack hooking
penalty sent the Sting to
the power play, Anthony
Salinitri found the back of
the net to make it 2-1.
Nikita Korostelev and Jeff
King picking up the assists
on Salinitri’s 8th of the
season.
Just four minutes later
Patrick White snapped his
11th of the season past Owen
Sound goalie Michael McNiven
to tie the game at two’s.
Hayden Hodgson and Zachary
Core were credited with the
assists.
The second period was filled
with chances but neither
team capitalized on any
opportunity. No chance was
better than Owen Sound’s
Zach Nastasiuk penalty shot.
Fazio was not fooled and
slammed the door shut,
keeping the game tied at
two’s.
After a scoreless second,
the two teams combined for
three in the third. Alex
Renaud potted his 13th of
the campaign five minutes
into the final stanza,
giving the Sting a 3-2 lead.
Kevin Spinozzi and Daniel
Nikandrov picked up the
helpers.
Unfortunately, Sarnia’s lead
did not last long. Just two
minutes later Owen Sound’s
leading scorer Kyle Platzer
scored on the power play to
knot the game back up at
three’s.
Just 1:41 later Daniel Milne
scored his second of the
night giving the Attack a
4-3 lead, which held up as
the game winner.
The Sting had great pressure
in the final minutes but
could not beat the Attack
net minder.
The game also featured a
spirited tilt between Joshua
Chapman and Jacob Busch just
minutes into the final
period.
Sarnia now travels to Guelph
on Sunday to take on the
Storm in their last regular
season game, before taking

Erie Otters in the first
